Hi, it's Tom Allison's Type 1 Movement. You'll find him on Facebook. His podcasts make interesting listening, and he gives good, experience based advice. I don't know how much his course costs, though.

Has anyone out there with Type 1 read the Glucose Goddess, and adapted any of the recipes etc? How did you get on? I haven't bought the book and am interested to know if the recipes give the carb count per portion etc? Plus has anyone been on Type 1 Tom course? I came across him on social media...

Why oh, why are there days when high blood sugar simply will not come back into normal range? I seem to get random days, and using corrections or taking extra quick acting makes absolutely no difference whatsoever or takes so long to come down , it's insane. Anyone else with this issue?

Security when leaving Brussels insisted on opening my spare Dexcom G7 sensor, breaking the seal on the plastic packaging housing the actual sensor, and looked inside. Does that mean that sensor is contaminated now and should just go in the bin? I was furious about this as it had not been opened...

I believe, according to the Dexcom website, if you ask for a visual search only for the G6/7 sensors and once the packaging is still in tact security, SHOULD comply. The sensors get damaged in the xray so they shouldn't go through. Im heading to Brussels next week, and i really hope they follow...

Thank You! I wear a cgm and know that often my bloods are going great, exactly where they should be and then boom, dawn phenomenon. I've adjusted my night time (split dose) Lantus down to 4 units. It was 5 units but tended to go low overnight on that. Still the issue persists with morning highs.

Thank you so much for responding. Hopefully, some type 1's will respond as I think it is something worth considering. Can I ask what for example what you'd have for breakfast? I'm a toast and egg kinda person.

Plus I'm a vegetarian! Any advice?

Is it possible to go low-carb and eat healthily? My bloods are driving me insane, especially my fasting blood. Always rubbish and spend all day chasing the high and resulting in high hba1c.

Hi all, I have just started using G7 sensors but am having issues with password sign-in for authentication on my phone to make changes to vibrate rather than sound an alarm when I'm at work meetings etc. Has anyone else had this issue and how did you sort it out? Dexcom suggested changing the...

Hi! Can I ask(anyone out there) if Dexcom G6 is compatible with Android Auto? I would love to be able to see my BS on my car touch screen particularlywhen i am on a long journey. Fiddling around with a phone while driving obviously is not an option. Is it even possible to set it up or is that...

Dexcom were extremely helpful. Apparently the phone updating was the culprit. Rolling back on the update was suggested but that seemed extreme. Uninstalling and reinstalling a number of times n ensuring location was allowed eventually proved to be the solution. I'm not entirely sure how it...

Hi. Anybody got any idea why my data from my smart phone g6 has stopped passing on my data to Clarity for the last two days? Has this happened to anyone else and if so how did you fix the problem please?

I have recently been diagnosed with siadh too and have been put on half a fludrocortisone tablet per day. I've only been on it for 6 days but still have low energy, have a tremor and am lightheaded (all symotoms) I was also told to limit fluid intake as you have.

Hi Karen, I was given lots of blood tests and thorough examination.Id had a similar episode in July and had xrays, MRI scan, Holter device for 24 hours at that time.all normal.my diabetes consultant had flagged low sodium 12 months ago but wasn't overly concerned and told me to cut down on water...

Hi, Anyone out there with type 1 who has been advised to take dioralyte daily to increase sodium levels by doc? I had been suffering dizziness, have developed a tremor with pounding heart/palpitations had to leave work yesterday and get to a+e.Any further advice?

I have to agree with helensaramay.i find the same happens.i find if bloods are outside a certain range libre is not as accurate.i also double check with a quick blood test .

Yep pharmacies stock them.dont buy the smallest tegaderm however they peel off too easily. Get the next size up.it has better adhesion.

Ps abbott may want you to send the sensor to them by return,so hang on to it until you talk to them.

Yep abbott will replace it.use tegaderm transparent dressing over the sensor.this will keep it in place for the duration.
